Summary

Catskill Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Catskill, New York, with 584 students enrolled. The school is part of the Catskill Central School District, which is ranked 640 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Catskill Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 35.37% of 3rd graders, 34.62% of 4th graders, and 37.21% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61% respectively. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York elementary schools for Hispanic students, White students, Multi-racial students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While Catskill Elementary School faces significant challenges, it has shown exceptional performance for African American students, ranking in the top 20% of New York elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2017-2018 school year. However, the school's overall performance has fluctuated over the years, with some improvements in proficiency rates followed by declines. Additionally, the school has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $17,919 to $33,983 over the past four school years, but its academic performance has not kept pace with the increased funding. Nearby schools, such as Taconic Hills Elementary School, Mill Road-Elementary School, and Cairo-Durham Elementary School, have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math than Catskill Elementary School.
